The Last Jedi has less conncetive tissue than Hereditary agreed, Johnson's movie makes so little sense people will be able to watch Episode 9 by skipping 8 : great stoy telling right there.
You and your Jlaw-and-MCU loving arse is the last person who should be complaining about storytelling flaws.

So should this franchise be considered a "prequel trilogy"?
Why would it be a prequel? Have they made Wonder Woman films starring Gal Gadot and set in the DCEU in 2018?

I'm relatively new to BOT, so can someone explain to me if The Futurist is a parody account or what?
All you need to know about him/her/whatever:
- he is obsessed with Jennifer Lawrence and thinks that even "Passengers" is good
- his definition of masterful cinema is the Marvel Cinematic Universe
- he thinks that every movie not helmed by any of the MCU's rent-a-directors is "pretentious"
- 98 % of his posts elicit "WTF!" or "Is this a parody account?" from half the board. The other half just ignores him.

I can see Steve being brought back to life in the end of this movie, and he could go on to have a long life and die of old age around the time whenever BvS was. That way Diana and Steve can have a happy life together, and Chris Pine can return for a possible Wonder Woman 3 which would be another period piece.
It will be released in 2021 and set in 2000, and touch on important topics like the ascent of Britney, NSync and the new, new, new bubblegum pop movement, the Playstation 2, "Survivor" and Castaway

Malcontents. Same as Star Wars fans. People in general.
True.
And nope, I don't buy the "true horror fans are discriminating" BS.
This is all about a small vocal group of online horror fans (or Star Wars fans) never being happy about anything and always overthinking everything to death.

Any guesses as to when we will get our first look at Wiig's Cheetah? I am dying to see how the character design is realized in live action!!

All actors are allowed weak scenes every once in a while, I blame that mess more on Whedon as a director more than anything.Exactly!
Remember this awful piece of "acting" from this celebrated Oscar-winning French thespian?

LOL. this franchise relies on jumpscares, it's not smart or atmospheric
the trailer was..meh
Nowhere in the post you quoted was it mentioned that that the franchise is "smart."
Also, what's with horror fans and their insistence on always looking for something to belittle horror films? What are horror films supposed to do? Seems like they are not supposed to have too much gore because they are accused of being "torture porn," and they should not have jump scares because those are now allegedly a bad thing (since when?). Then, if a horror film is too atmospheric or takes its time to unfold its horror elements, they are called "boring" or "dull." WTF? Since when is gore, atmosphere, and fucking jump scares a bad thing ina horror film?

New photos look great! Steve is probably a hallucination.
I actually hope that he is.
As much as I loved the chemistry between Gal and Pine, I want this film not to become a repeat of the original (although I totally get that Steve being real in the film does not mean that the film will automatically be a carbon copy of WW)...

Anyone betting on what percentage of this thread will become a "Gal Gadot cannot act" bitchfest from trolls out to poison the well? Since we all know that her allegedly sub-par acting skills did not impact in the least the box office success of the first film (and in fact, her acting, performance, and overall screen presence was widely considered one of the main reasons for the film's gigantic artistic and commercial success), I am really curious as to what exactly is added to the box office discussion for WW84 by repeating the "Gal Gadot cannot act" diatribe? I suspect it is just about trolling/poisoning the well...

We already knew haha
Anyway Dumbo looks cute, which was the most important thing I suppose
True.
By the way, I was not sure about Dumbo.
Captain Marvel? Sure...
The MCU is just on fire, and since she will certainly be a huge aspect of the next evolution in the MCU, definitely.
But Dumbo was a big question mark to me.
After seeing that teaser, I have no doubt that it will be a gigantic hit.

Ahhh ok I thought you meant spinoffs. lol
Well, if the WW sequel is as successful (critically and comercially) as the original, and if, once again, the DCEU fails with everything else (Aquaman, Shazam, the 235 planned Joker/Harley films, etc), maybe it will be time for DC/WB to truly commit to a Wonder Woman cinematic universe that indeed has everything from an Amazons Adventures film to spinoffs for Steve Trevor, Etta Candy and some of Wondy's best known villains.

So we now know which two films will be the biggest hits to be released in March of 2019 (hint hint: one stars a flying superheroine, the other stars a flying pachyderm)...

Grace Randolph is reporting another set picture that features a crowd during some sort of AIDS-related protest (in addition to another pic of Gal in character), but I cannot find those picture online.
Anybody?

I think *gulp* Grace Randolph was right with her guesses about what WW84 means!
in a good way, obviously
Grace guess had a lot to do with the eighties' technological advances...could they be actually introducing Dr. Cyber?

I want Gal to take acting classes but we don't all get what we want.
Of course.
We all know that these superhero films truly require the finest, most amazingly skilled thespians in the lead roles to work. I mean, Chris Hemsworth, Chris Evans, Scarlett Johanssen, Henry Cavill...you are talking about ...ahem...Oscar-caliber A-C-T-O-R-S there.

I has got to be Circe (or whomever is the puppet master villain) playing with Wonder Woman's head (maybe Dr. Psycho??). Hopefully, he will be that...just Diana's mind...

I was sold as soon as I read "Farmiga"; I love both Vera and Taissa. They are both amazing actresses and I hope that Hollywood keeps giving them better opportunities.
ETA: Damien Bichir is in this too?? Man, now I REALLY have to see this.
-
Captain Marvel better come out swinging, because this is going to be March 2019's most potent, least expected blockbuster. That teaser is just magnificent.

And, frankly, they used all the decent Abba songs in the first film;no wonder they are going for a recycle.
Not really.
They did not use "Fernando," which clearly is going to be Cher's big moment (Andy Garcia will surely play the song's namesake...

I have no doubt it's gonna do really well, and I keep faith that Cameron will break ground again.
Nah...it's going to flop and sink the studio.
Didn't you hear? Nobody remember's the name of the female lead...

Interesting question.
If it were up to me, I would definitely work on building a supporting cast of "Wonder characters" that could potentially be spun off into their own cinematic adventures in the future. Wonder Woman is an iconic character, and her film's success clearly proves that despite Hollywood's legendary reluctance to give her a solo movie, there was/is a huge moviegoing audience for her mythos. Hollywood needs to nurture her brand even more, and yes, a Wonder Girl appearance could certainly lead to other solid moneymaking endeavors for WB/DC.
Especially with the success of Superhero Girls and Teen Titans Go.
I would love a Donna Troy Wonder Girl appearance, not a Cassandra Sandsmark one.
Or, they could combine Vanessa Kapatelis with the concept of Wonder Gilr....
